  Marriage equality crosses the threshold in the state of Washington,
  a St. Petersburg bill would outlaw LGBT advocacy, Britain jails Muslim
  anti-gay hate leafleters, the EuroCourt rejects Swedish homophobes'
  free speech claims, while Northern Cyprus' sex law conflict becomes the
  latest Euro rights case, and more global LGBT news

St. Petersburg is the latest Russian region to advance a "no promo homo" bill, while anti-gay Muslim hate leafleters are jailed in the U.K., and homophobic Swedish leafleters are rebuffed by the European Court of Human Rights... a new case filed in the EuroCourt this week blames Turkey for the continued prosecution of private, consensual adult gay sex in Northern Cyprus... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by VASH BODDIE and CHRISTOPHER GAAL).
